338/365: Christmas Party

Santa flew in on the plane behind Isaac.
We arrived just in time to dash all the way across the taxiway to get to the hangar before the plane taxied in. I parked on the wrong side of the taxiway... if you've never been on foot near Air Force hangars/ taxiways, you can't quite picture how wide of an expanse that is. Needless to say, it is large. Picture 500+ people standing in front of a huge hangar watching for Santa's plane and me carrying a baby, being drug along by a preschooler having arrived on the wrong side then hiking all the way across where Santa is expected to appear. Oh well... at least my friends knew we had arrived :)
We waited in line to be given gifts. The amount of toys they had was amazing! Each child got 2 presents. Isaac received a firetruck and a Playdough set and Grayden got a bath boat and pretend cell phone. After waiting for an hour, Grayden was done, so we stopped and had Isaac's face painted (he chose a candy cane) and then hiked back to the car.
Thankfully, Isaac didn't notice the bouncy castle and wasn't devastated that I suggested we skip talking with Santa :)

Very cool and that does seem like a long way with a baby, preschooler, toys and a camera!
